expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited
to, those associated with: the potential market opportunity for HTX-011; the timing of the NDA filing for HTX-011;
the timing of completion and results of clinical studies for HTX-011; and other risks and uncertainties identified in

HTX-011 for Postoperative Pain Management Has
Received Breakthrough Therapy Designation
Breakthrough Therapy designation designed to expedite development and
review of drugs:
Intended to treat serious conditions; and
For which preliminary clinical evidence indicates substantial improvement over
available therapies on clinically significant endpoint(s)
Designation granted based on results of Phase 2 studies and two recently
completed Phase 3 studies
HTX-011 produced significant reductions in both pain intensity and need for
opioids through 72 hours post-surgery compared to placebo and bupivacaine
solution, the standard of care
HTX-011 was also granted Fast Track designation in November 2017


5
Postoperative Opioids Are a Gateway to Addiction
AS MANY AS 2.6 MILLION
patients that take opioids to manage pain after
surgery may become persistent opioid users
each year
.
MORE THAN 40 MILLION
patients undergoing surgical procedures are
prescribed opioids for pain management
in the United States each year
UP TO 440,000
patients will become addicted to
opioids each year
In addition
>1 BILLION OPIOID PILLS
are taken home from the hospital after surgery each year
70% of all these
opioid pills
go unused
90% of these pills remain inside
the home in unsecured locations
>$15 BILLION
of the annual healthcare costs
associated with addiction can
be attributed to postoperative
pain management
32% of all opioid addicts report
first opioid exposure
through leftover pills

HTX-011 ACHIEVED STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT
REDUCTIONS IN PAIN AND THE NEED FOR
OPIOIDS VS. BUPIVACAINE IN EVERY PHASE 2

28
HTX-011 Well Tolerated in Breast Augmentation
HTX-011 was well tolerated, with a safety profile comparable to placebo
and bupivacaine solution:
No clinically meaningful differences in overall adverse events
No difference in the incidence of serious adverse events
No premature discontinuations due to adverse events
No deaths
No clinically meaningful differences in potential LAST adverse events
No evidence of wound healing issues with local administration into the
breast pocket


29
Study 211: Breast Augmentation Summary
HTX-011 achieved the primary endpoint
Both HTX-011 arms achieved significant reductions in pain at rest vs.
placebo through 24 hours
Both HTX-011 arms achieved significant reductions in pain with activity
(the most conservative assessment) vs. placebo through 24 hours
HTX-011 instillation (the most commercially relevant route for cosmetic
surgery) produced the greatest reduction in pain and opioid use, beating
both placebo and bupivacaine nerve block
Strong correlation between PK and PD in breast augmentation with
instillation
HTX-011 administered via instillation or as a nerve block was generally
well tolerated in breast augmentation with no wound healing issues

Phase 2b Conclusions
HTX-011 plus ropivacaine
was significantly superior to both placebo and
bupivacaine in TKA
HTX-011 demonstrated significant activity via both instillation and nerve
block in breast augmentation
Pharmacokinetics of HTX-011 remained consistent across 5 diverse
surgical models with consistent correlation between PK and PD
HTX-011 has been generally well tolerated up to 400 mg by instillation
and as a nerve block
Results from 7 positive Phase 2/3 studies across 5 surgical models are
intended to support broad use of HTX-011 across a full range of surgical
procedures
